Thank you very much! I love Castlevania soundtracks!

Thanks!

For the love of god.. Do not call that "Original Soundtrack"..
This is a GAME RIP, and should be called like this.


The Original Soundtrack will be released on November 08.

Best soundtrack ever?

Thank you, thank you very much! _0_

I was waiting for this OST for ages ! Completly tagged, with some bonus tracks, I hope you'll like it ! ;)

Enjoy and good download !!

Can't seem to download due to (always consistent) Download Session Invalid errors. Gonna wait for the official OST. Thanks, anyway.

Thanks for this. I had a hard time getting the music to this and the fact I cant find the game anywhere didnt help either.

OK, and thanks for the date of the release of the "real" OST !

And to each other, you're welcome !

Is there noticeable differences from the old Chi no Rondo OST?

Is there noticeable differences from the old Chi no Rondo OST?

Of course ^^ !!! PSP has an incredible good sound !
They're the same songs but arranged for DXC !

Thank you so much for this soundtrack. I have been looking everywhere for it. Ever since I bought the game, I just had to have the music. They did such a wonderful job remaking it. And even if this is a gamerip, its better then nothing. 8D

Edit: The rapid share link doesn't seem to work. Could you possibly try sendspace (http://www.sendspace.com/) , file factory (http://www.filefactory.com/), or megaupload please? (http://www.megaupload.com/) Rapidshare is a horrible service, because their free links never work.

I have been cracking out on this game like there is no tomorrow! Thanks for this! I appreciate it! :D

Thank God, there's a remix of Bloodlines. Somehow I thought Michiru wouldn't include one in this game. That would've sucked Dracula's balls.

The remix isn't as good as the original (no surprise there), but the important thing is that there is one. Thanks for sharing it, Chernabogue54.

I'll try File Factory.

Chernabogue thanks for this Soundtrack. I haven wating for this for a long time. I know that it's a gamerip and the track isn't complete but by this moment it's better than nothing!!!

Thanks for the soundtrack, but I had a question. Not having a PSP, I've only played this game at work a bit, but is the song 'Den' included in the game? I know it wasn't in the rip, but I'm wondering if it'll be on the OST release.

Is there noticeable differences from the old Chi no Rondo OST?

DUDE, this music is 1000x times better than in Chi no Rondo. Bloody Tears never sounded any better than now. And I'm so delighted to hear new version of Illusionary Dance - it now perfectly fits fight with Dracula. It's only too bad Den (from Stage 7) is no longer present. But the new tunes (especially boss battle theme and the new track: Red Dawn, Moon Fight and Cross Your Heart) recompenses this. :-D

I don't know if "Den" is in DXC but we'll know it soon !!
"Moon Fight" and "Cross your Heart" were two tracks from Castlevania Chronicles and Rondo of Blood.

Added mirror to FileFactory !

I agree, Anatar. Why does everybody talk about OST when it's just a game rip? It'd be more accurate if they just called it by name: game rip, period. Thus, we'd know what we are downloading in advance. We all know what is like to wait for hours until our next download is available(via rapidshare and megaupload). Thanks for the link anyway, Castlevania music is always welcomed.

DOWNLOADED. GAME RIPS ARE AWESOME. THANK YOU.

Thanks!

is it the original soundtarck for da psp

Thanks very much!

I don't know if "Den" is in DXC but we'll know it soon !!

!

I didn't found "Den" in the files, which means it won't be heard during the game, isn't that so?

Yeah, "Den" isn't in my gamerip but it could be in the OST that release soon.
But "Den" was the music for the Final Stage and, I'm not sure, but I think that in DXC, it's "Poison Mind ~Another Nightmare~" the music of the Final Stage....................... :-\

Actually, I believe "Cavern of Dark Spawn" is the remix of "Den". Listen to it carefully and it includes some music from "Den". It's especially evident at about :27. The song seems to be more heavily remixed than the others are.

good sir........you...are..GOD.....TY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah....... Sound like "Den"... But I'm not sure that is the song "Den" for DXC... Well, it's just what I think :D

To me, it looks that Moon Fight is the theme for Final Stage (if the order from Rondo of Blood is kept, this means that "Final Stage" is Stage 7 - before Staircase to Dracula's throne room). And Poison Mind is playing when you fight bosses that Shaft summons, i think. But yeah, it could also play in Castle Keep.

And Jayster; yes it does sounds like Den, since it contains pieces from Vampire Killer and Bloody Tears, but pieces from Beginning are missing, so I don't know...

And BTW, does anyone knows what "Tues Deus Meus" means? It's the theme playing during boss battles and i'm sure it's Latin. But, what does it mean??

"Tues Deus Meus" isn't correct Latin. If it was called "Tu es Deus Meus" it would be "You Are My God", but now it doesn't really mean anything.

Throughout the game, you can collect many 'Sound Track No. #', but what are these exactly? I live in the Netherlands and the game isn't released here yet, so I was wonderful what these collectible items are. I overheard there are 52 of these, so maybe the soundtrack is twice as large as the one you have ripped. That would be cool.

thanks for sharing :)

WOW. It's reeeeally awesome. Michiru Yamane is in top shape, unlike other famous (but male ;) composers. Five stars.

I've spoken with Yamane, and she said she had only composed "Red Dawn", which is an astonishing song nonetheless. The others songs were apparantly done by the new Konami Music Team.

Thanks cousin. Happy Halloween.

That one cat sounds like a hurt little girl.

here's a link to a new song included in the SoTN port of this game.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/lnq2q5

It's the english version to the song the fairy sings. Apparently, this is the first time an english version to this song was made. So it hasn't been released yet on any official OST that I'm aware of.

Even better....TY Sayde (^_^)b

You know, the Cross Your Heart song is similar to the Chi no Rondo OST or maybe it's just me.

I think it's just you - don't remember Chi no Rondo had Cross Your Heart as a theme

Maybe.

To check, get the Rondo of Blood OST in this board.

Nice, i love castlevania =D

I found Den, it's labeled as Cavern of Dark Spawn, so it's in the file that TC created. If you notice in the original Den song there is a melody that proves that Cavern of Dark Spawn is Den, for expample listen to the original Den around 57/58 sec that melody playing can be found in Cavern around 28 secs.

Thanks TC for the songs even if they are rips I'd rather have them on my psp music section then having to load the game up and select it through sound test. ^_^

Sorry for the double post by the way, i forgot to say my thanks in the first post as well as describe fully what i was talking about, i accidently hit the return key.

Hey G-han how did you talk to Yamane, does she have a site to go to?

Thanks

@Traumend: it was a bonus song that appeared only on the Rondo of Blood soundtrack, as a bonus. So Iga might found it funny to include it in the game this time as well. ^__^

@WHI7EWOLF: I met her two months ago in Leipzig, during the Games Convention.

EDIT: Whoops.

Thanks for this.

Granted I was on 99%, so I wanted to get 100% before listening to Opus 13...which is my favorite song out of the original Dracula X. Glad to hear they didn't mess it up. It's just too bad it was unlockable.

Thanks Chernabogue, you are awesome !

Quick question.

Is the song that plays during the credits in the remake included?
(The name escapes me at the moment)

Thanks for the upload!!

Love 'Blood Tears' with passion. Bring me good ol' memories

Thanks again.

Agreed. IMO, that's the best track in the game, with Illusionary Dance right behind it

I'm looking for the song "Undesirable Love". It is the song that plays when you're fighting Vampire Annette. Does anyone have it?

Really cool....thanks.

I'm looking for the song "Undesirable Love". It is the song that plays when you're fighting Vampire Annette. Does anyone have it?

Is it coming from Dracula X Chronicles, or did it appeared before?

"Tues Deus Meus" is the song while fighting the Vampire Annet; "Vampire Killer ~piano~" is the song you'll hear when you're talking to her before she transforms.

Are you sure? Then, what's the track the plays while fighting other bosses?

No, I'm not sure. =p I watched a few YouTube-movies, and based my post on the first half second of the song I could hear, so I'm not sure. "Tues Deus Meus" starts in the same way.

thanks you are the best

No, I'm not sure. =p I watched a few YouTube-movies, and based my post on the first half second of the song I could hear, so I'm not sure. "Tues Deus Meus" starts in the same way.

I'll tell you - i too heard that theme, particularly in video called "Maria Gameplay", it played while fighting Bone Golem, so....

Is it coming from Dracula X Chronicles, or did it appeared before?

It's a new track created for DXC. It plays during the fight with Annette if you didn't save her.

No, I'm not sure. =p I watched a few YouTube-movies, and based my post on the first half second of the song I could hear, so I'm not sure. "Tues Deus Meus" starts in the same way.

Oops! Just went through the other posts. Apparently the person who told gave me my information was messing around with me again. Sorry. :P

Hi there, do you know how many songs does the the Dracula X Chronicles OST has?

Thanks

Actually, in the OST, (I don't remeber exactly) there're 52 tracks.

The full track listing off of Konami Style.jp (http://www.konamistyle.jp/sp/draculax_st/list.html)

It looks like 2 discs worth of music (they must've re-issued the original Rondo of Blood OST with it). While your gamerip is nice, I'll look for this before putting it on my MP3 player.

What the... ? 3 Vampire Killers??

What the... ? 3 Vampire Killers??

Yeah, the DXC version, the piano version and the RoB version.

I have the English tracklist of "the sound game items" if you're interested.

Do you know where I can download the OST from the game (2 CD's) ?

I really want to check the quality and if the OST has the Nocturne song from the SOTN and the new ending song also from the SOTN.

Thanks.

Well, I'm searching it since the 8th but found nothing...

This is a great soundtrack! I love it!:D

FIND IT NAO!!!

I'M DOWNLOADING IT !!!! THE 2 DISCS !! I'LL UPLOAD IT TODAY LATER !!!

Disc1 : DXC + Bonus tracks
Disc2 : RoB + Bonus Tracks
I'll upload it very very soon !

How soon? Please, please, please, please, please.

Not that I'm begging or anything!

Cassidy, that's very rude of you. You forgot to say PLEASE!!!!!

^ LOL. I can't believe how good the game and the music is.

Wasn't the Official soundtrack released on the 5th?

I thought it was the 6th. Either way, yes, it was just last week. I've been waiting for this ever since I played the game. Dracula X may have some flaws as a game, but it had perhaps the best classic Castlevania soundtrack ever in my opinion.

i think it was the 8th ..

anyway, yeah the soundtrack is f***in' great !

Oh my godness, I can't wait either. Please finish as soon as possible!! PLEASE!! Yamane's my girl!! ;-)

I have to go to work, then stay for a meeting afterward. Chernabogue, I thank you in advance, and hopefully this evening I will be able to enjoy the sounds of Dracula X!

Yamane's my girl!! ;-)

^^, nice one, man.

LINKS ADDED IN THE FIRST POST !! ENJOY !!

FINALLY!

THANK YOU!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Chic type ^^

Merci !

Where did you find the download for this? I can't get the second disc and I have to go to work. Can you tell me where you originally found this so I can try to download it?

Been listening to the Rip you made and that was amazing, downloading the actual OST now as I type

Thank you very much for the upload :D

So tasty sweet. The original CnR music is wonderful and fitting. The remixes are just plain excellent. I'm looking forward this once my download is complete.=)

Thanks for putting this up.

Thank you for uploading this most bodacious album.

bump, thanks again :)

downloading now, thanks!

Thanks a lot mate! Very good.

Anyone have a decent scan of the cover art?

Thank's a lot

Sorry forgot to add this :
<a href="http://imageshack.us">

EDIT : I never saw that in Japan, they say "Doracula" :) LOL .

I translated "Tues Deus Meus In Manibus Tuis", it's something like :
"I put my Fate in your Hands, You are my God". (Well, it's not correct latin but it's like that it must be translated) It reflects a kind of divine mission to kill a boss, no ? ;)

I also saw that the next Castlevania(s) will be for XBox360 and Nintendo DS but nothing more !

More information about the DS-game will appear at the end of November. Since Igarashi not directly working on Dracula X Chronicles, it's possible the third DS installment is making good progress. =)

Thanks a lot for the OST.

Wordless.

Thanks.

Quick question.

Is the song that plays during the credits in the remake included?
(The name escapes me at the moment)

Yes it is, and it's called "Ending", of all things...

thank you for uploading the soundtrack.

is there by any chance i get the song the ending song of SOTN Mournful Serenade ?

thanks a lot man....

Oh my God, I love this song. Thank God it's the new ending theme for Symphony of the Night.

the ost now too? i thank you.

can any one upload Mournful Serenade please?

can any one upload Mournful Serenade please?

The OST is complete, so you must find this song inside (it could be re-named)
Did you downloaded the 2 parts ??

They actually say "Dorakyura", but it may sound differently. BTW, what you said about mission to kill the boss... I like that ;))

Thanks man, great Soundtrack! :D

You rock, dude!

Thanks a MILLION

Thanks a bunch Cherna!

Thanks for releasing it. I love all Castlevania Soundtrack of all platform.:D

There are a few notoriously good tracks in the OST but I can't help but feel a bit disappointed with the album (I've only heard disc 1 so far though), since a couple of them tracks sound clearly inferior compared to the original Rondo pieces. I also thought the PSP was capable of better sound quality.

Aside from Dance of Illusions, I preferred most of the original PC-Engine tracks. The great thing about this album, however, is that it has both versions, so you get the best of both worlds.

I thought for sure disc 2 was going to include the original tracks and there we have it, I could skip downloading it though, since I have the original Rondo album, but I noticed there are a couple of new tracks too so I'll get it later; I only wish I could get the tracks separately but oh well.
Also, it seems they took out the original credits song for SoTN, which is a good thing because it was awful.

Yeah, I'm a bit new to the forums, and I found it due to googling "Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles OST". I'm aware that it's a gamerip, but it still sounds good. Again, thanks for uploading this.

Oops, I gotta quote myself on that, that was stupid... sorry.

Huh? there�s the OST there too you know.

great OST, but the symhony one was better

THANKS MEN!!!!!!

Why Konami chose Moon Fight instead of Den is beyond me. And did anyone notice how right when the choir starts it suddenly stops? I�m wondering if that track has problems.

thats why i use Moon Fight as a boss fight tune...since it does feel like more of a boss fight track instead

Why Konami chose Moon Fight instead of Den is beyond me. And did anyone notice how right when the choir starts it suddenly stops? I�m wondering if that track has problems.

No it hasn't problems : it's the "intro" of the song. It was already like that in the game rip.

Thanks man! :)

I have to thank you for posting this, so thank you!

I tried to say thank you, but it went somewhere else, oops... oh well, thank you for posting this!

I hate your avatar.

Thnx a lot for the OSTs

You're a lifesaver man.

Thank you so much! However, do you know where can I download higher quality of this OST, like CBR 320kbps?

wow, the new castlevania OST, thanks you are too fast

great, thanks :)

Great stuff - thank you!

Thanks for the soundtrack

i want Michiru-san (^_^)

Good job with this! I was longing to have the soundtrack since the first trailer was released.

Made account just to download this! Thanks for the upload, looking forward to actually playing the game at Christmas ;)

Thank you - Gracias - ARIGATOU GOZAIMASUUUUU~!!!

I've been searching for this till the end of the internet!! :3

*ninja hugz*

Anyone know where I can find Portrait of Ruin OST??!! ^^;

In Larzuk's Castlevania thread !

Thanks very much!

thanks man!!!

I love this game and the music is great!!!

very cool man. d/l right now. sick game, sick soundtrack. thanks a bunch

This soundtrack it's less than nothing!! I�ve been playing all the Castlevania titles since the first of the NES and this thing is a total failure as a soundtrack. It takes away all the essence of the original title. Illusionary Dance sounds like some cheap music for some bad epic movie or a ridiculus circus, it's pathetic!!

This soundtrack it's less than nothing!! I�ve been playing all the Castlevania titles since the first of the NES and this thing is a total failure as a soundtrack.

I've played all of them as well, and you are SO wrong!

I've played all of them as well, and you are SO wrong!

I may regreat to ask, but why do you think it? Did you hear the original one and the one of the SNES and Symphony of the Night complete?

Every Castlevania soundtrack has its own specialness to it....its unique "stuff" that gets each of us hooked to a specific soundtrack

Every Castlevania soundtrack has its own specialness to it....its unique "stuff" that gets each of us hooked to a specific soundtrack

Yea, but instead of improve the quality and the "feeling" of the songs (like in Chronicles), it appears they only do it because they have to (and this isn't new, this starts with Lament of Innocence)

Yeah, "Den" isn't in my gamerip but it could be in the OST that release soon.
But "Den" was the music for the Final Stage and, I'm not sure, but I think that in DXC, it's "Poison Mind ~Another Nightmare~" the music of the Final Stage....................... :-\

Actually, there is a remastered version of "Den" in DXC; however, it's called "Cavern of Dark Spawn". It's one of the hidden tracks of the game, much like the remastered version of "Opus (Op.) 13". Just thought that might need clearing up.

rchtr00-How can you say that Lament Of Innocence soundtrack was bad? It was rather amazing what Michiru Yamane was able to do without usage of rock instruments. Symphony was good, but I have to put LoI higher due to the sheer amazingness of it. Lament of Innocence, Dark Night Tocatta and Andmiration Towards the Clan were all breath taking songs. Just because Symphony was the first one fully orchestrated with rock music doesn't make all the other games' music sucky. About Dracula X Chronicles, did you even bother listening to the remakes of Bloody Tears and Illusionary Song?

Its blasphemy for you to make such statements criticizing Michiru Yamane's and Konami Sound Team's near perfect music that makes Nobuo Uematsu and Yoko Kanno shiver in fear.


EDIT:Oops, almost forgot, thanks Chernabogue54!

Thanks Chernabogue!

Just because Symphony was the first one fully orchestrated with rock music doesn't make all the other games' music sucky. About Dracula X Chronicles, did you even bother listening to the remakes of Bloody Tears and Illusionary Song?

First. I didn�t say all the other games music sucks, only LoI, CoD and some parts of the GBA and DS Castlevanias (with the exception of CotM, that was awsome).
Second. Did you ever hear Bloody Tears from Chronicles and Illusionary Dance from Castlevania 64?
Third. If LoI is so good, why they put a medley of Symphony?

While a fan of Bloody Tears, before DXC came along, the Bloodlines version of Bloody Tears i though was better then Chronicles. But now since DXC has been released, this game's Bloody Tears is down right the best.

Castlevania Reincarnation was the only medley from Sypmhony, or anyothe game for that matter. And it was an awesome piece for a boss battle music when playing as Joachim. And lets not forget that was a seperate game mode from the main storyline.

Illusionary Dance was at its prime with Dawn Of Sorrow, of course before DXC came out.

With Curse of Darkness, they attempted to go back to the "rock" theme like they did with Symphony. And for the most part, it was good. Did you even bother to listen to Toccata into Blood Soaked Darkness or Abandoned Castle-Curse Of Darkness? Something tells me you didn't. As for the rest non "rock"
music, it was still good. Think Aolin Ruins and Mortvia Fountain.

And the only thing wrong with the GBA and DS music was Harmony Of Dissonance, and only because the music was such low quality. Don't forget the fact that Aria Of Sorrow's music were good enough to have some tracks fully orchestrated. Even the in game midi music was good, like the Chaos fights and the newer Heart Of Fire.

The hell i don�t care if it's orchestrated or in midi, if the song keeps it "soul", it�s good regardless the quality and/or the instruments (like they say in mexico "el que es perico, donde quiera es verde y fluorescente pa' que lo vean de noche").

Symphony isn�t totally rock, or didn�t you hear "Prologue","Requiem for the gods", "Dance of Pales" or "Metamorphosis3"? Did you even know that Symphony soundtrack wasn�t made by Yamane (she just put her name on it)?

I�ve played all the Castlevanias, what about you? If you don't, play both Castlevanias for the Nintendo 64 and watch what a true mix of new and old songs is, without killing the atmosphere of the game (or do you think the soundtrack of the ps2 Castlevanias keeps the feeling of the game?)

Also, I owe all the OST, special disks and rips from every castlevania game ( and some fan made variations and "new creations" of projects about fan castlevanias), so don�t come to tell I didn�t listen to [put title] because I heard all of them in many versions. Or have you heard "Vampire Killer" from Vampire Killer (MSX)?

And, for last, did you know that the only ones who think th ps2-advance-ds castlevanias soundtracks are good and puts somethinng to the series are the people who are obsessed with anime and PS (the casual for foolish gamers)?

What kind of statement is that, "i dont care if its orchestrated or midi"
when you clearly state that Circle Of The Moon's music was extremely good quality, while Aria's and Harmony's music was clearly midi.

It obivouus Symphony isn't totally rock, but it was something new to put into the whole thing.

And you last statement is purely extremist and terribly segretatory. Sure I do like anime, cosplay, and go to conventions and stuff (eBay Sniper from cosplay.com), but unfortunatly for you, japanese anime doesn't change my views based upon Castlevania music (or any music at all).

Plus how can you tell if someone is a "foolish gamer" if we are just talking about music. We aren't talking about the content of the games such as gameplay, features, and gimmicks. Just the music. And from what it seems, you are the foolish one. Stop shoving your extremist views down other people's throats.

I didn�t mean properly the quality of the song, I mean the feeling that the song gives to the game, the songs are pretty bad if you listen to them without the gameplay (and dont tell me it's not difficult that someone who doesn�t play the games like the music). The music it�s only the half of castlevania (if you didn�t notice, castlevania is a videogame).

The last statement is the closest one I found about what I think. Ask a REAL castlevania hardcore gamer what he thinks about the last soundtracks.

A part from that, Castlevania is a EUROPEAN HISTORY (unless maps are wrong and Walachia is in Japan), so what the hell is anime like apects doing in a history from Europe (IGA state that he wants to turn the series into some anime like trash [a BIG mistake]).It�s like doing a historical USA event in a movie with cuban or colombian music.

2 good games, 10 regular games and hundreds of trash packed in cd or dvd (ps1 or ps2, whatever you want)... if foolish isn�t enough to buy something for that low game rate, then you don't know anything about videogames (the tipically casual gamer that only wants visual stuff and the last fashion game, not real content games).

And last, you didn�t ask "If LoI is so good, why they put a medley of Symphony?"

Thanks a bunch

I listen to the music more then I play the games, and I know plenty of people who enjoy the music with playing few or none of the Castllevanias. The msuic is that good. I realize that Castlevania is a game, and the music is beuatifully crafted to be enjoyed both while playing the games and when listening outside of the game. Why do you think that Konami release Original Soundtracks in the first place? Let me inform you on that since you obviously dont see that. OSTs are released when music of a game is too good that the fans want to listen to the music outside the game.


Ask a "REAL" Castlevania Hardcore fan? I AM a Hardcore Castlevania fan, I frigging cosplay Leon, Alucard, both Soma's, and planning the rest of the Belmonts. A REAL Castlevania fan would enjoy the music and not say that the newer music is suckage.

If you haven't realized, Kouji Igarashi is Japanese. Anime is big in Japan. Also, there as been plenty of Anime that are based on historical topics. And there also have been a good amount of games seeing themselves as anime. And IGA basing Castlevania on real life events and the legendary Bram Stoker's Dracula. Also, its Romanian history, not European history, theres only 3 games in which you go about areas outside of Romania. And it barely has to do with any real history aside from Count Vlad Tepes' rule of Romania in and around 1476 (I believe thats the correct time). It has barely has anything about the crusades, the templars, the church, or any other wars in Europeon history, some fan you are.

You're stating that IGA is not a good game maker and the title shoudl be handed over to an European. While IGA was the one who took a series that was mediocre and drawn out, gave it a new life, and made something amazing out of it.

And there as been an incredibly amount more than just 2 good games. Remember that Dawn Of Sorrow was the first DS game to win game of the month in Game Informer, over the 360 entirely. And caused a monthly Handheld award. Along with that, Portrait Of Ruin was on a front cover of an issue of Nintendo Power when it was announced. And still to this day, theres been only a few games to be on par with Dawn of Sorrow.

Oh, I don't know anything about video games? Who the hell are you to say such a thing. You're an elitist, if it isn't up to 'your' standards than is crap, while everyone else likes it. You have no place in this the world telling other games that they are foolish or not real gamers. PS (1,2,3, PSP)
is the home of many great games (and games to come).

As I said before, you are an elitist. And you can't deny that. Here is how. You go about saying that a bunch of things are crap. While myself and most others say that they are excellent. Now, either that all the Castlevania/Konami/Dracula fans are all wrong, or either you are. Same thing with Japanese Animation, if it is shit, then why do many people love it? See the truth, you are the wrong one. You'll never belong amongst the ranks REAL Casltevania fans.

Furthermore, to prove how pitiful you are. Its blatantly clear that you were the one who asked ""If LoI is so good, why they put a medley of Symphony",
and that I was who gave a reply to that.

Excellent ! thanks for OST ! :p

Why they release OST?... Do you know anything about a "little and insignificant" thing called "marketing"? Do you know what is the consumption society? Do you know Capitalism? (For example, Kirby's air ride was a bad game and despite that it got it's own OST...)

A REAL HARDCORE FAN covers all the aspects as deep as he can, and not only says good things about it, he also says whats bad or mediocre, having it�s own criterion and a wide view of the things, not only a dogmatic narrow view focusing in the "new" things.

Is Japanese? So what. Shigeru Miyamoto is also Japanese and keeps the European touch of Zelda. Hideo Kojima is Japanese and keeps the American marine style in the combats and missions. Shinji Mikami is Japanese and keeps on track the place where the saga occurs. It doesn't matter where are you from, if you want to do the best, you keep the sight on the target, keeping it scent, not killing it.

So is in Walachia... Walachia is the angular basis of 4 countries: Turkey, Romania, Austria and Moldavia. What ever happened in that 4 places, affected that region, and that 4 countries, obviously, had to interact with the rest of the continent, so what are you crying for? Did you know that the base of Dracula's power is the Chaos? Castlevania is the result of the twisted desires of humans, so any war is good. And did you know that Leon indeed fought in the first crusade? Or that the last games talk about a relationship between Belmondos, Alucard and the damn church?The vampires are the oppose of humans, so Castlevania indeed must show antisemitism, is the fight between gods soldiers and an evil army...

I never said give the game to a european, althogh it would be excellent, specially if it is a British or French, they know how to do stories and to put the atmosphere on them.

The guy before IGA was doing great games, not "mediocre things" as you stated (Have you ever played Castlevania II, Castlevania III, Castlevania Legends, Super Castlevania IV, Dracula X for SNES, the original X, Bloodlines, Castlevania 64 to the very end, 2 or 3 times in a row to feel the glory of finish them in hard?...Oh sorry, I forgot, your real fan narrow vision...), where the predominant action was the reckless fight and the ability to pass obstacles, not doing pointless map % searches or completing repetitive bestiaries (Do you think that pathetic combo is new life after 11 years of the same thing?).

I supouse you said IGA renew Castlevania because of Symphony and Circle, but guess what? He made neither of them. He just did HoD, AoS, DoS, PoR, LoI, CoD and DXC. You want a quick answer about what Castlevania must look like? God of War. That game is awsome in all aspects, and it's base idea were the old Castlevanias and Rygar (and you can't say "I cry and defend my hero IGA, GoW is different from LoI or CoD" because it use a gameplay similar and the same base weapons, whip like things, swords, hammers and secondary like weapons).

And did you know that IGA is afraid of the new generation consoles (specially the Wii), and thats why he's just making "remakes" or working in portable 2D versions, because he doesn�t know how to do a 3D Castlevania?

Covers of magazines? The company whom pays more or the supposed most "popular" games are showed in covers, so what. Harry Potter last game was terrible and it appears everywhere saying "it's wonderful".

I didn't say you don't know anything about videogames (although I start to think I should have tell you), I was talking in general, but if you feel that way...(Like they say in Mexico "Si el saco te qued�...")

Just for curiosity and in a competitive spirit, since when you're playing? In my case, I've started since the Atari, Game and Watch, NES and so on, even the golden age of the SNES - SEGA, so if you didn�t walk all that way and think PS games are great, then you don�t know anything about real valuable games and it's implications (If you're guessing my age, I'm 23, but the flea markets in my childhood in Mexico and USA do great things).

And anime is shit? if you say so... but personally, I like many Japanese cartoons.

Am I an elitist? sure I am!!!! It�s my personal mark. I�m not a lazy conformist peanut head like the rest of the damn humans. If you're going to do something in a LONG period of time ( like happens with the PS2 Castlevanias), do it perfect in all it's aspects, show you're true potential, destroy the rivals (not just do a BAD game with awful graphs, poor gameplay, boring mouse like labyrinths and pathetic music. And if you didn't notice, your rule doesn�t apply in that case, the "newer" CoD only was best because you can move the camera, but have tha same failures than LoI, except in graphs and story, LoI was better).

And you didn't ask my question directly, you said it is in the game, but you never ask why, but I give you the answer: They put Castlevania Reincarnation (a mis-titled song, because is in the timeline the first in occur) because they were afraid the audience didn�t like the new soundtrack because it has nothing to do with previous well known Castlevania themes.

Unfortunatly for you, some Video game creators want to please their fans and not only just about profit. Get you head out of the gutter and realize that the Japanese are different than the Americans.

A real fan of any game series doesn't go around and call each game not up to his or her "level" shit. Yeah, Castlevanias aren't perfect games, but they are still good. Nobody can ever acheive perfection.

The guy before Igarashi? You must be seriosuly retarded. The N64 ones were a horrible display of game making skills. Also, IGA did do SotN and CotM, if he didn't then why the hell is his name under the credits as lead producer, and why the hell does the official artbook (that came with the 20 aniversity PoR) state that he worked on Castlevania since Symphony. The classics were good (personal fav being Bloodlines), but the style was drawn out. Thats where my man Kouji Igarashi comes in, changes things up a bit, and viola, you have yourself SotN. Don't even bring God Of War into this, that was no where near as good as LoI or CoD. God of War had lack of plot, and lack of music, only decent, recycled gameplay.

Oh, did you know a Castlevania as been announced for the 360, and hes not afraid of the new consoles. He just announced in an interview that he doesn't show any interest in the Wii.

You didn't say that? You blantantly said that 'casual' gamers were below you. And that we don't see eye to eye that I somehow fall into that catagory.

I've been playing since Tetris. And I know the values of video games. While there are plenty of mediocre and crappy ones. There are MANY great ones out there, open your frigging eyes to reality.

I never said anime was shit, you did! By saying that IGA is turning Castlevania into "anime like trash". You obviously don't even know what you typed.

You don't need to say that you an elitist, becuase you alreayd claearly shown that you are one. And hate to put you down, but elitists are looked down upon, its a disgusting quality in people. nobody likes them, any decent person doesn't enjoy their very presence. You've earned yourself a disturbing reputation amongst society, both internet and real life.

Don't even mention Hideo Kojima. I'm a huge Hideo Kojima fan, and someone of your extremly low comprehension level could never understand what makes his games amazing.

And to prove that you clearly don't have a sense of reality. I gave a clear answer on why Casltevania Reincarnation into the LoI soundtrack. As I said before, open your eyes.

And if you don't like what I'm saying, thats too bad. Its the truth. If you don't like, shut your mouth, take it like a real person would, and go live in cave and remove yourself from society. Or you can always give yourself a fatal wound.

You're right, they are different from Americans, they got a colossal more aggressive marketing system. Anything that goes out comes along with a bunch of stuff, want examples? Pokemon, Megaman, Naruto, Dragon Ball and keep counting.

Any game? I'm just disappointed of the last ones (PS2 to the date), they are crap compared with the original good ones and the base, Symphony. Nobody can achieve perfection? You're right, but the difference between pathetic crap life forms that called themselves humans and real humans is that the last ones always try to achieve it, not just laid back and start crying "perfection is not possible, bla, bla bla, were weak, etc, ect, etc.".

Me, retarded? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!...Well, in that case, I still have some brain left, but then you have bull shit or worst!!! First, IGA is the pathetic assistant producer, not the producer of Symphony, neither in the PS nor in the Saturn version. He started to produce the Castlevania series since the more or less good HoD, and second, are you blind, stupid or both? IGA is not in the credits of CotM. CotM was created by KCEK, not KCET, where IGA is the producer (and because of the success of the game, IGA managed to make Konami disappear KCEK). They put the name of another Igarashi, that has apparently noting to do with this pathetic lifeform. Like a cultural side note: Did you know that IGA, before his ignominious participation in Castlevania, created a game for PC-engine ( I don�t remember it's name, but he mentioned it in an interview with Nintendo Power) that was more or less good, but when they asked him to do a sequel, he couldn't do it? He say a bunch of excuses and finally they threw him to Castlevania.

The only crime of Castlevania 64 was to have a straight attack instead of a wide range attack and to be cuted from 4 cartridges to one!! That thing has thousands times better music, story and atmosphere than LoI and CoD together!! It doesn't feel like a fake forced drama happening in a mouse trap labyrinth made of shoe boxes with pathetic table dance like music.

God of War isn't near to LoI and CoD? HA! Now that's amusing. Both GoW are the maximum exponents of the power of the PS2, graphically, sound quality and loading times. Lack of plot? Have you ever been outside your garbage bubble in topics about the real world and general culture? Did you know something about Greek and Roman cultures? Did you ever read Theogony, Iliad or Oddissey?

Lack of music? Are you deaf or ignorant or both? It�s music is almost what the fans whant from Castlevania: a true symphonic soundtrack. And it was made by professionals, just to mention 1 of the 4 composers, Cris Velasco (Battlestar Galactica, Terminator 3: Redemption, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Anderson's Cross, Haze and Van Helsing) . The other 3 guys also made the music of many movies and TV series.

Decent recycled gameplay? The only game GoW like is Rygar for PS2 (coming soon for the Wii), but it was a terrible game due to the phisical engine, but you're so ignorant that I doubt you know that. And if you are thinking Ghost Rider or Spartan: Total Warrior, they come out after God of War.

Castlevania for 360? Do you know to discern official info from rumors? Theres nothing about a 360 Castlevania. the last info about anything related to Castlevania are the supposed images of the new DS Castlevania.

Open my eyes? You're pathetic! I know there are many great sagas (Original Megaman, Contra, Ninjan Gaiden, Strider, Zelda, Mario Bros., Metroid, Star Fox, Rogue Squadron, F-Zero, The 6 official chapters of Megaman X, Metal Gear, Zone of the Enders, Boktai, Final Fantasy, the Chrono saga, Ace Combat, Tetris Attack and MANY others), but who appears to doesn't see that is you. Why? Because you defend a human scum like IGA (maybe this last state change, recently he stated that he maybe return to the original format of the past Castlevanias, all foward and none exploration, but we must wait and see...).

You're a Kojimas fan? I�m surprised. What I don't understand? Let me tell you something: the difference between this guy and IGA is that Kojima really studied to be a FILM DIRECTOR, that's why HE KNOWS HOW to make you FEEL the GAME, HE KNOWS WHAT to PUT in the GAMES, HE KNOWS HOW to do STORIES that INVOLVES the PLAYER, HE KNOWS what HE WANTS, HE can even CONTINUE HIS OWN STORIES. Are you fan of him just for the later 3D Metal Gears or you really know about it�s work and beyond (Boktai (producer), Zone of the Enders (producer), Metal Gear movie (executive producer and writer), Super Smash Bros. Brawl, etc)?

You gave a clear answer about Casltevania Reincarnation? You just said it�s in a separate storyline, but what with that? It's in the same OST. It was created by the same composer, so whats you're point.

People look down elitists? They have to. Elitists broke the pathetic bubble of garbage and complexes of the majority of the people, Why? Because they are so stupid, lazy and conformist that they must discourage the ones whom want to do something big by their effort, not just because of a luck hit, "God" or any of that shit.

So if you're weak manure worm pride was hit by the crude truth, feel free to throw yourself to the freeway or shoot you're self or whatever way you want to terminate you're dark and full of shame existence, but whatever you do, remember this: "Tape yourself and tell someone to put it on youtube!"

Hey dumbass, I cosplay from from all Kojima titles cept for ZOE and Snatcher. I'll bet that you are one those so called 'fans' and don't like Raiden.

I not going to even go through all your complete and utter bullshit you got going. Elitist are theo nes who are stupid, calling the majority of the people stupid.You are the fool, the filth. Lazy and conformists, I'm neither, but yet, im not anything like a piece of shit elitist. You've shown your stupidy and idiocricity on many levels throughout your posts.

Me, hit with crude thruth? Thats just a lazy cop-out from one who was hit by truth. You're the on who is sitting in a dark corner sorrounded by reality, making such statements is just a despeartion of filth such as yourself to escape reality.

So, a "fan" needs to cosplay? Are you a damn retarded kindergarten child or something like that? Cosplay doesn't leave money, merchandise does.Although I had to admit it, some cosplayers look great, but some cosplayers doesn�t look like the characters, they look like a damn gay maniac escaped from Arkaham or worst.

Me, lazy, conformist and hit by crude truth (I suppose is what you want to say, because "thruth" doesn't exist)? You really need help... Apparently, you act like a "normal human", but I detect some inferior complex in you, in addition with a defensive bubble created from all the personalities (and sexual perversions) you don't owe, but you want to be (or pretend to be). Also a lack of identity, you don't know where you came from, you don't know what you're doing and you don't know what to do. As a "social service", and as practice for my second university career (Psychology, the first one is Electric Engineering), maybe I should help you, but on the other hand, maybe not, I enjoy worms jumping from the frying pan to the fire.

And, if I don't bad remember, this was about Castlevania, not you're micro fan universe mixed with reality and hidden parts of you're true self, so, if you want to continue with the original topic, fine, entertain me, but if you want to continue you're nonsense, argument less ignorance that you show on you're "replays", then just shut up.. shut up and die!!!! ("Still uttering the same nonsense. No matter. Now is the time to put aside your weak human side.")

Merci beaucoup Chernabogue54 !

The entire OST's not bad, I'm little disappointing about the new "Divine Bloodline" (I prefer "Opposing Bloodline")
The Nocturne English version is ... absolutely wonderfull, remixes from CD2 are goods too.

Wow, you two really deserve this trophy (http://internetarguing.ytmnd.com/).

rchtr00-How can you say that Lament Of Innocence soundtrack was bad? It was rather amazing what Michiru Yamane was able to do without usage of rock instruments. Symphony was good, but I have to put LoI higher due to the sheer amazingness of it. Lament of Innocence, Dark Night Tocatta and Andmiration Towards the Clan were all breath taking songs. Just because Symphony was the first one fully orchestrated with rock music doesn't make all the other games' music sucky. About Dracula X Chronicles, did you even bother listening to the remakes of Bloody Tears and Illusionary Song?

Its blasphemy for you to make such statements criticizing Michiru Yamane's and Konami Sound Team's near perfect music that makes Nobuo Uematsu and Yoko Kanno shiver in fear.


EDIT:Oops, almost forgot, thanks Chernabogue54!

I have to agree. In fact, Lament of Innocence was my favorite track out of the whole game; I liked Admiration of a Clan, also; the "Vampire Killer" riff Ms. Yamane put in there made me feel a good bit of nostalgia from the "good-old" days of the NES. As for my favorite rendition of "Bloody Tears" ? It would have to be the one that appeared in Castlevania 4 for the SNES; there's just something about it that just feels so right, you know? Back to Ms. Yamane's works with the series, I also like her take on "Theme of Simon" that appeared on Portrait of Ruin; that, and her redux of "Iron Blue Intention"; VERY nice stuff.

rhctr00- This is exactly what Im talking about and how stupid you just really are. When did I ever say that one needs to cosplay to prove to be a fan? Never. Not once.

How do I an inferiority complex? Is it because I enjoy a person's works? If so, you are calling everyone (but you) on this board stupid and beneath you. You're the one who needs help, in a big way.

So what now, you think a vampire or something? "Put away your weak human side". You definatly need help. And anyone would agree with me.

Ah! It's you, I think you were killed or abducted or something.... Well, on to business: First of all, indeed you never say it, but the way you bother with that says more than what you put.

Second, again, is not the message (enjoys a person's work), is the way you say it, giving erratic answers without a solid base and in a somehow desperate form, even attacking without the proper weapons and with mistakes (rhctr00?).

Third, me, a vampire? They're weak like the "humans", in fact, they're the same as humans, just without soul (and maybe even weaker, they can't stand bright light), and the meaning of "human side" is deeper than only this weak and ephemeral package of flesh , bonds and blood. It's part of, but the essence of "human side" is the electric and chemical reactions of the body giving as a result a stage on the brain that humans normally call "feelings". Just think in this: If just mankind, for a couple of minutes, leave the fog and darkness that cause their erratic and illogical way of thinking due to feelings, do you believe the world would be as it is right now?

Nice, Thanks for the upload

Hoo!! Yeah! Thanks.

Thanks for the album

Thought I'd add it as has some damn cool music ^_^

wow thank you soo much for this!!! I love collecting soundtracks, proberly why my pc is so slow lol

Bloody tears one of my favorites redone in dracula x chronicles Thanks for upload

Much thanks..

Thanks very much!

thank you very much

I don't have the game but I was wondering why Disc 1 and 2 are the same musics but played with differently? Are both versions of the music in the game or Disc 2 is another remixe of the musics?

Yeah something like that :) Arranged I guess... Still its always good to have more castlevania tho :P

Thank you!

I don't have the game but I was wondering why Disc 1 and 2 are the same musics but played with differently? Are both versions of the music in the game or Disc 2 is another remixe of the musics?

The first disc is the soundtrack to the remake of Rondo of Blood(the 2.5D game in Dracula X), while the second disc is the soundtrack to the original Rondo of Blood(TG-CD) with better quality and with a few brand new bonus tracks.

Downloading. Thanks alot! :D

I especially like serenade of sympathy :D. Yeah the music seems more clearer and better quality samples etc.. :)

Thank you very much. This is one of the best soundtracks in the history of the Castlevania franchise.

been looking for this, thanks a million

all welcome if anyone downloaded the lossless version :-)

The second disc of this set is definitely where the gold is at. Original kickin' Rondo soundtrack, PLUS the chip music, as well as the SOTN PSP exclusive tracks (English version of "Nocturne" and the new end credits theme), and some neat stuff thrown on at the end. (Is that version of "Cross Your Heart" in Rondo? I feel it is...but can't think specifically where.)

I'm not much a fan of the arranged tunes on the first disc. Mostly boring. Castlevania Chronicles has a nice arrange soundtrack, Dracula X Chronicles is just poor by my tastes.

Very lovely, Thank you!

thanks, the music in this game is great!

Thanks, I was looking this OST for quite a time.

quick question: Is there any significant differences between the gamerips and OSTs?

Thanks!!

I have journeyed long and far to find this soundtrack. Thanks for the deliverance! Though by now, only the OST links work. The rips have long since decayed.

thanks man! i'll pop this music in my ipod

Thankx dude

Thank you for the cd's.

Thanks for the cd's dude! :D

even though rapidshare is starting to become rapidshit, thanks for this OST

Ehy the links of the gamerip is out of order.... Repair it please!!!

Thank you for this. Akumajo is one of the best.

Thank you.

Thank you so much. I bought this game yesterday and I'm loving it. this has the original Rondo music too! again Thank you. ^_^
